The White House Now Holding Office Hours on Twitter
Twitter “Office Hours” is the newest addition to the White House’s recent utilization of social media in order to connect to the public.
Similar to President Obama’s Twitter town hall, participants can ask a question by including the hashtag #WHChat with their tweets. Replies to questions will come from the @whitehouse Twitter account.
The first of 6 planned sessions was Tuesday, July 26 at 5 PM EDT. After each session, the White House will post a “transcript” of the chat on its blog.
As could be expected, most questions asked were relating to the budget and raising the debt ceiling.
